摘要
A heteroduplex mobility assay (HMA) using 753 and 446 base pair (bp) amplicons of the p17/p24 region of the gag gene of HIV-1 has been developed and validated with reference clones and clinical samples representative of subtypes A, B, C, D, E, G, and H. There was complete concordance between the gag HMA assigned subtype and the subtype known from gag or env sequence data or env HMA. The heteroduplexes from both amplicons can be clearly resolved on either MetaPhor XR agarose or MDE polyacrylamide gels. The MetaPhor XR gel system was the more convenient and is the preferred choice for routine HMA subtyping. This gag HMA provides a rapid, simple and inexpensive method for subtyping HIV-1 based on a genomic region other than the commonly used env gene target. The incorporation of gag HMA into subtype determination algorithms should allow the detection of gag/env recombinant strains of HIV-1. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
